The header sounds too dramatic, but yesterday was one of those days. I hope today will go better.
One good thing that happened yesterday was meeting with *** and *** together. We all met at *** house, and it was nice.
I still have quite a bit to do to get ready for 2025.
An honest self-evaluation has me recognizing that my optimism has ebbed just a little bit. I think that’s a natural thing. Thinking and feeling ebbs and flows in human beings. This is why I want to keep up my morning routine. Waking up at 5am every morning to write in my journal, study come follow me, write affirmations, and go through the rest of my routine keeps me in a good energy quadrant, even if I am a little tired.
The social media committment seems to be bearing some fruit, especially the video. I haven’t done much with it yet, but I’m getting comments from people about it and even a phone call. Certainly evidence that I need to keep it up.
Today my two biggest priorities are getting the inspection items turned into Hubble for the *** house, and sorting out *** short sale package and getting it submitted.
Come Follow Me
I’m still thinking about the idea of intent, motive, and what a person REALLY wants.
I recognize in myself an un-whole person. Or maybe a better way to say that is a divided person. I like the idea of complete discipleship, but I continue to harbor contradictory desires or motives that are centered around myself instead of who I mean to belong to.
I found a good talk that was a BYU Idaho devotional from 2015 on the subject of intent. Among other things, it causes me to consider my why. I think it’s easy for people to get lost or distracted in what they do and not even notice they do things without being clear on the why. But it’s also easy, with a little self-reflection, to understand one’s motivation and intent. It may not be as simple to change one’s intent, but at least we can understand it.
